Lin Youan twitched his lips happily, revealing his cute little canine teeth. He excitedly talked about his plans for the future.

"We now have more than 100 taels of silver. We can redeem the house from my uncle first. No, no, no, let's redeem some of the land first.

With the land, I can work on it, or rent it out, so that our family can barely make some money. Mom, what do you think?"

"Row."

"Since you agree, I will go talk to my uncle and cousins. I can farm and study at the same time. When I have learned enough knowledge, I will also take the imperial examination, just like my father did!"

When talking about his father, Lin Youan's eyes were full of admiration, and his spirits flickered in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, making him look like an eight-year-old boy.

"Well, let's go on a scientific expedition!"

Chu Chi also laughed.

"Mom, you didn't even understand what I meant, why are you laughing so happily?"

"If An An laughs, I laugh too."

Lin Youan blinked hard a few times to hide the sourness in his eyes.

"Mom, you are so stupid."

"Nonsense, I'm smart!"

Chu Chi was quite persistent about this.

There is an old saying that a lame man protects his legs and a pockmarked man protects his face, so what zombies protect most is their brains. The less they have of something, the more they will emphasize it and care about it.

Everyone is like this.

"Well, mother, no matter what happens in the future, you must tell An An in advance, okay? Tell me if you don't understand something, and I will protect you in the future. Just listen to me, okay?"

Lin Youan didn't argue with her, but explained carefully over and over again, fearing that his innocent mother would be bullied by others when he was careless and couldn't see her.

Although he is not very old, he has seen many ugly faces in the past few months and knows how treacherous people are.

"it is good."

Although he thought he was smart, Chu Chi knew very well that An An was smarter than him.

"Then you are not allowed to go hunting in the back mountains alone anymore. It's too dangerous. I don't agree."

The little brother evolved into the little father on the spot, and then the rebellious girl came online directly.

"no!"

Huahua is still waiting for me in the mountains, how can I not go? If I don't go, won't all the meat go to Huahua?

Whenever Chu Chi thought of this possibility, he felt heartbroken. So he refused with extra determination.

"Mom! You just promised to listen to me in the future, but now you regret it?"

“….”

I didn’t know how to answer, so I just turned away and pretended I didn’t hear it.

"Mom, please listen to me, okay? Look at how tall and big that black bear is. If it slaps you, you will be dead!"

"And how fierce is that wild boar? Its fangs are so long, what if it bites you?"

"Mom, please don't make me worry, okay?"

"mother………"

The boy's voice was filled with frustration and helplessness. In the window where the afternoon sun shone through, he kept chattering around the young woman, trying to pry open her brain and stuff the awareness of danger into her.

On the treetops outside the window, a few summer cicadas were perched on the tree, watching the fun. They were making fun of this pair of siblings who looked neither like siblings nor like mother and son.

In the end, it was the cub's tears that played a crucial role. Chu Chi, an eagle-like woman with a will as strong as steel, finally had her weakness discovered by her treacherous son.

It seems like his mother can't stand him crying?

After trying it several times, it really worked every time. So Lin Youan relied on his perfect acting skills to successfully tie his old mother, who looked at the mountain behind him every day, to her home for two months.

By the time Lin Qianqian was able to run around the yard, the scorching summer heat had finally begun to fade away. The crops in the fields also changed color slightly due to the increasingly cool wind.

Lin Youan, wearing a coarse cloth shorts and carrying a hoe like a proper farmer, walked into the house behind his uncle.

"Are you back? Hurry and wash your hands and come over to eat."

Liu put the food on the table.

"Hey, here it comes."

Lin Youan put down the hoe, first glanced at his sister on the ground, then glanced at his mother behind his aunt. Only when the two women in the family were safe did he smile with relief, rolled up his sleeves and went to fetch water to wash his hands.

After washing his hands, Lin Yuanshan sat at the table, frowning and silent. It hadn't rained for more than a month, and the crops in the fields were very dry. If it didn't rain in a few days, we would have to dig canals and dams to release water to irrigate the fields.

However, the water in the Daxi River doesn't seem to be much, so it must be competing with the surrounding villages. I have to go to the clan leader's house after dinner to see what the second uncle is planning.

Several girls from the Lin family brought food and bowls to the table one after another. Chu Chi followed behind the eldest sister-in-law, running back and forth again.

An An kept a close eye on her every day. After such a long time, she only sneaked out to play in the mountains once and was caught by him. She cried so hard that she even got scared.

Although Chu Chi didn't know why he was crying so hard, as a mother she had to feel sorry for her cub, so she could only agree reluctantly and stay at home obediently.

But she is boring!

The eldest sister-in-law also didn't allow herself to play with Xianxian. Although her nieces played with her, she didn't like to poke them with that thin needle.

The niece's wife's belly was so fat that she rolled over and over as she walked. Chu Chi didn't dare to touch her because he knew she was pregnant. So he could only follow his eldest sister-in-law.

Oh, so boring!

Liu smiled and glanced at her wilted sister-in-law, and coaxed her to wash her hands in front of the basin. As long as she didn't stretch out her hand to make things worse for herself, she would be thankful and didn't expect anything else.

The patriarch Lin Yuanshan picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

"Hurry up and eat. Youan, come with me to the clan leader's house later. Let's see if the clan leader has arranged for you to enroll in school in Xiaozhang Village."

Since Lin Yuanzhou passed away, no one in the village taught the children their homework. The old scholar in the neighboring Xiaozhang Village did open a private school, but he had a unilateral conflict with Lin Yuanzhou. I don't know if he is willing to accept Lin Youan.

"Okay, uncle."

The little brother picked up his bowl and started eating. After all, they were all family, so there was no need to be polite.

These are the only people at home now.

Lin Youwen has gone back to town to study and only comes back once a month. Lin Yousheng took a job and went to the neighboring Yuning Prefecture with the escort company. Anyway, he probably won't be back for ten days or half a month.

Even so, I was still thinking about my wife and children, so I deliberately didn't take any distant work.

Zhang Xuanniang's belly is already very big now. Logically, she should have been pregnant long ago, but there was no movement for a long time, which made her parents-in-law very anxious.

He supported his waist and moved to the table and sat down, holding a cloth rope in his hand, one end of which was tied around the waist of the sister-in-law from the next room who was crawling on the ground.
